Sooria Girls School Kabul
In 2003, 26 Students from the Technische Universität Berlin and 25 Students from the Kabul University built together a library and a multifunctional room for the Soria Highschool in Kabul. It was embedded in a master plan developed by the German students that was executed parallel by local workers under the direction of the GiZ/ AGEF in Kabul.
The project was initiated by Prof. Rainer Mertes, TU Berlin and run by Arch. Anne Seidel and Arch. Ursula Hartig with the suport of an extense network of experts and organisation.
The Soria High School is a Girls school and was completely destroyed by the civil war. When we arrived, the girls where taught in two shifts, two classes a time in tents from the UNO.
After the projects was finished, colored school pavilions and the two extra facilities used as Library and Teachers Assembly-Room where occupied.
A parallel project, a Tee Pavillion was designed at the TU Berlin but due to complicated life- and working conditions could only be realized after the DesignBuild Project by contractors and freelancing students.
